4th of July

We had a big day planned at the pool, but the weather didn't cooperate, so we had to switch up our plans. We went to a playground and played and did some walking and scooting on the walking trails that surrounded the park.

And of course we had cupcakes.

And strawberry daiquiri's.

And Vance held his first sparkler.

And Vaughn covered her ears because the fireworks were too loud.

And we saw fireworks. It's still weird living in a place where fireworks are legal and believe me, people in this county like to blow stuff up. It's crazy. It sounds like a full-out aerial assault and from our deck we can see amazing fireworks from every angle. It blows my mind every year.

Here's just one of our neighbors firework trash piles on Monday morning. Impressive. And there was more in the garage to be set off. It doesn't get old to these people here.
